Gracefully positioned within Sand Creek's premier gated golf course community, this distinguished all-brick Colonial captures the enduring appeal of classic American architecture. Offering nearly 4,800 square feet, 6 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms, this timeless residence showcases the symmetry, solid construction, and traditional elegance that define its lasting appeal. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes guests into an interior rich with architectural detail, including crown molding, wainscoting, custom millwork, and newly refinished hardwood floors that span the main level. Fresh updates throughout create a warm, inviting atmosphere while preserving the home's classic appeal. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the spacious kitchen features a large walk-in pantry and butler's pantry with effortless flow into the formal dining room. The adjoining family room serves as the heart of the home, showcasing a striking brick fireplace, custom built-ins, and impressive beamed ceilings. A private office with French doors provides an ideal work-from-home space, while an additional main-floor flex room with access to the deck and an attached bath offers endless possibilities as a guest suite, second office, fitness room, Pilates studio, or creative space. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat with dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring a jetted soaking tub and oversized shower with dual shower heads. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level. The walk-out lower level offers incredible versatility with a large recreation area, secondary kitchen, full bath, and a flexible room that can function as a sixth bedroom, theater room, home gym, or hobby space. Outside, professionally landscaped grounds frame a private backyard retreat featuring a two-tier deck and patio overlooking the golf course. Residents enjoy the security of Sand Creek, top-rated schools, and convenient access to Chicago!
